Yeah when I saw guys riding bikes, wearing short sleeve white dress shirts, and ties, I had to double take a few times. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You have your deluded christian NGO trying to "Show God's face" (What the fuck does that look like anyway?) to the mentally impoverished, I suppose the Mormons would also jump at the opportunity to con people into joining their cult.
As far as Teflers go, yeah, I can see the reason for the bashing now that I think of it.
I've met plenty of fuckwits here that are hygienically and socially inept that complain of not being able to get a higher salary past $700 or $800 a month. All Teflers. You also have the types that left their homes for the first time in search of some fulfilling and wholesome experience, yet, they live in the upper-end parts of PP, spending $400 on rent, never tried any khmer food past Bai Saich Jhru, can't speak khmer, and only spend time with other expats. Or their right hand.
I met one poor bastard from Germany who said he gets paid only $350 a month in PP, and has no money and connections from home. He was complaining about how he couldn't get a higher salary because the Principal insisted "The school doesn't have any money".
Oh by the way I'm a Tefler too. .

I don't think anyone here hates TEFLers, we just like to make fun of them. Which puts them in the company of, well, practically everyone else. They just have more weakspots for us to make fun of.
If the poor German is only making $350 a month and is stuck in Cambodia, surely he would be able to arrange something with the German embassy. Paging Herr Hanno!!!

German Embassies are very reluctant to help without guarantees that they get the money back. It would appear that every time I am at the Embassy there is a guy with some sob story. Earlier this year it was a guy that had landed a couple of days earlier, made friends with a Khmer lady and woke up with everything gone. He looked like he had been on a bender for a couple of days and the Embassy told him that pretty much all they could do is let him call his family.Harold wrote:If the poor German is only making $350 a month and is stuck in Cambodia, surely he would be able to arrange something with the German embassy.

Oh, bother! It's happened. Inevitable, really, I suppose.

And I'm only referring to this board, I've never heard anyone in person hating on them. Seems to be some animosity against them here and I've yet to figure out why.
I mean, I can understand hating backpackers. Yeah. NGOs too. But what did a Tefler ever do? Haha.
After almost 2 months of teaching experience, I totally believe the hate is real. At the school where I work, there is definitely a certain snobbery towards teflers. Particularly from a professor who looks down his nose at us lesser mortals as if we are something, he scraped off his shoe.
He isn't a native English speaker (Eastern European) and at first I thought it was just because he was foreign that he didn't mix. When I tried small talking to him in the playground, he simply looked at me and walked away! Later another teacher told me that as a professor, he despises teflers because we cheapen his professional status.
So yeah, I think tefler hatred is real. It's alive and well and living in Phnom Penh.
